===Short Lit-Crit Response===
{{main|Short Lit Crit Response}}
Due before midterm, this paper will have students research and write about one of the texts we have studied in class. Choose the text you would like to investigate further, find a secondary, critical article, and write your two-page response. This assignment may be repeated up to three times for extra credit {{crossreference|(see [[World Literature 1, Spring 2020/Policies#XC Responses|XC Responses]])}}.

Reading quizzes and in-class assignments cannot be made up for any reason.

==Required Materials==
[[File:Norton1-world.jpg|thumb]]
Our study of World Literature this semester will use either of the following:

* ''[https://amzn.to/2KCxHTE Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces: The Western Tradition]'', Vol. 1: Literature of Western Culture Through the Renaissance (Seventh Edition), edited by Maynard Mack.
* ''[https://amzn.to/2OjZB94 The Norton Anthology of World Literature, Vol. A: Beginnings to A.D. 100]'' (2nd Edition), edited by Sarah Lawall.

Both of these books are out-of-print, but you should have no problem acquiring one of them, either through the {{Amazon}} links above or another bookstore. These books contain the specific translations that I will be referencing in-class and on exams, so one of the two texts above is '''required'''.<ref>Get the cheapest one, as one is no better or worse than the other.</ref> While readily available, other translations will just be confusing and cause you unnecessary difficulty.
